Bhagavad-gita 4.10
"We have no connection with this material world. But somehow or other, we are attached to this material enjoyment and we have forgotten Krsna, we have forgotten our home, we have forgotten our real identity."

You've called me pathetic and egotistical, do you know me? Probably not because if you did, you would have included judgmental, self-centered and arrogant in your list of my many, many faults.
Regarding cognitive dissonance/resonance, I've found that the safest way to minimize these tools of Maya is to only have one belief: the belief in Srila Prabhupada. If he says something, even if sounds wrong, I accept it. So when I heard, about a dozen years ago, Srila Prabhupada saying that he was poisoned (on a video), I accepted it to be truth, however unlikely it might seem to be. Technically he mentions the possibility that he has been poisoned and says, "I think it is so." There are several other recordings, where he says reiterates that he believes that he's been poisoned. That's good enough for me. The other evidence, uncovere
Parallels between what is happening in the material world and what is happening in the devotee world suggest a sinister conspiracy

Nothing is as it seems. Lies are accepted as the truth and truth speakers are treated as criminals, or shunned as heretics. Enmity is fostered while real crimes are hidden. We could be talking about present day ISKCON, or we could be talking about present day USA. The parallels are eerie. In fact the parallels are so pronounced that it is almost as though the events are following some sort of master plan. Is it possible that some sort of Sinister Movement is controlling events both ISKCON and the material world ? This article will examine the parallel events and explore the possibility that there are actual demons working behind the scenes in an effort to create the maximum discord while minimizing genuine spiritual pursuits.
Before we examine the parallel events, what did Srila Prabhupada say about the pre

Ranganath Das quotes Srila Prabhupada ;
Lord Krsna is equal to every living entity (cf Srimad Bhagavatam 3:5:38 by Srila Prabhupada).....
The Lord is equal to every living entity, just like the flowing Ganges. The Ganges water is meant for the purification of everyone, yet the trees on the banks of the Ganges have different values. A mango tree on the bank of the Ganges drinks the water, and the nimba tree also drinks the same water. But the fruits of both trees are different. One is celestially sweet, and the other is hellishly bitter. The condemned bitterness of the nimba is due to its own past work, just as the sweetness of the mango is also due to its own karma.

The idea that one must approach or take shelter of a “living” guru is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most damaging of lies within the Krishna consciousness movement. This lie was started by a few deviated disciples after Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance in order to support their claim that Srila Prabhupada had appointed them to begin accepting disciples of their own and thereby become full-fledged diksa gurus.
If you take away the need for a living guru lie, what is left unclouded in the minds of so many bewildered people is the July 9th 1977 Directive issued by Srila Prabhupada (via his secretary) wherein Srila Prabhupada’s ongoing acceptance of disciples even after his disappearance is expressed in legal form. Moreover, the hundreds of quotes by Srila Prabhupada which the ritviks have continually presented over the years may also become unclouded to the minds of thousands of bewildered people. As of
If you want to forget Kṛṣṇa
"If you want to forget Kṛṣṇa, He'll give you opportunity of māyā that you can..., you'll never remember Kṛṣṇa. You'll forget for good. And that is His kindness. 'You want to forget Me? All right. I give you so much facility that you'll never be able to remember Me.' Therefore the staunch atheist, however you argue with him, however you defeat him... Matir na kṛṣṇe parato svato vā. They cannot. They will not. Because Kṛṣṇa is arranging within: 'Forget. Don't accept it. Don't accept it.'
So this is going on. Sarvasya cāham hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ (BG 15.15). So for the nondevotees, He's giving facilities to forget. And for the devotees, who are sincerely seeking Kṛṣṇa's favor, Kṛṣṇa's service, He's giving memorization: 'Yes, you do like this. Do like this.' Why does He so? That is also explained, ye yathā māṁ prapadyante: (BG 15.15) 'As you want Me... If you want Me, to forget, I give you facility to forget. And if you want Me, to se
An Amazing Story!
Srutakirti: "We were on an airplane from Mexico City to Caracas and Prabhupada started taking his puffed rice, puffed rice and peanuts. He ate for about 10 minutes or so, and then he just looked and said, "OK." So I moved the puffed rice over and I gave half to Paramahamsa, the other half I had in front of me. After a few minutes, there was this stewardess, she was walking down the aisle and she stops right in front of us and she reached over, put her hand in my plate and grabbed a handful of puffed rice and threw it in her mouth. She says, "Oh, this is wonderful. What is it?" I said, "Puffed rice." She said, "Why are you eating this?" I said, "We have our own diet and we're vegetarian." She said, "Oh, is there anything else I can get you?" I looked at Prabhupada and he looked at me, he said, "Hot milk." She said, "Fine." So after about 10 minutes she comes back with three plates. She left and I turned to Prabhupada, I said, "Prabhupada, that's amazing, isn't it?" Pr
Tamohara Dasa said; "The nwo Luciferian elites did this (poisoning of Srila Prabhupada) with CIA and Sabbatean Iskcon-jew conspiracy. The world uberrich used the CIA to remove many back in those days, whom they did not want growing in power. So they used Tamala etc as their dupes to kill Srila Prabhupada. Six out of eleven phony zonal acaryas were Jews... The poison used is classical CIA, and the death of their agent by car crash is also clasical CIA. Then theres Adi Kesava, CIA etc. There is a tape of agents discussing us, and saying we are no longer a threat, being too disorganized. Illuminati ie nwo elites fund both Mayapura and Bangalore, so divide and conquer.
If you follow the chain of command, you will realize that we are at war with demons, this world and others, as it always was. So our fight is with the demons, who want to stop Krsna."
Mukunda said; "... if you looked at the Jewish influence in our movement from a simple statistical point of view and compared it by world pop
SRILA PRABHUPADA WAS POISONED: WHAT NOW?
We have compiled some interesting comments and questions from (and answers to) those who watched the films from the Truth Committee regarding the evidence and logical conclusions about Srila Prabhupada having been poisoned with cadmium at levels about 250 times above the normal average person. The response has been generally very positive and that the evidence has largely spoken for itself, and that the scientific proof from hair tests and audio forensics is conclusively convincing. Of course, there are those who have blocked minds or strong emotional hostility, and they invariably have not even understood what the evidence is, and they appear to have no desire to look at it openly. However, judging from the aftermath and responses, it seems the facts and evidence that Srila Prabhupada was indeed poisoned is profoundly changing the way devotees look upon many things, and especially as to what has happened since Srila Prabhupad
Preaching is the essence
"An acarya who comes for the service of the Lord cannot be expected to conform to a stereotype, for he must find the ways and means by which Krishna Consciousness may be spread...
Therefore it is a principle that a preacher must strictly follow the rules and regulations laid down in the shastras yet at the same time devise a means by which the preaching work to reclaim the fallen may go with full force." Chaitanya Charitamrta A.L. ch. 7, purport of verses 32 and 38
''Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.''
Bg:16/7-9
Dhira Madhava Das
''The karmīs who are working for sense gratification day and night, they have been called as mūḍhas. Mūḍhas means asses. The ass works very hard, the washerman's cloth loaded on the back of the ass to the greatest extent so that he cannot move. But what does he get in exchange? A morsel of grass. That's all. He knows it, that in exchange of... "None of the cloth belongs to me; still, I am carrying so much burden, and in exchange I'll get a few pieces of grass," which is available anywhere. But he's thinking that "This washerman will supply me grass." This is ass, ass-mentality. Therefore they are called mūḍha.'' 740408BG.BOM
Palaka Dasa, it was my assumption only that Rupanuga was a BBT trustee. I do not know whether he was or not. So if I am wrong my hearty apology. That is one thing!
Next it was in 1972 yes it was 1972 when Bali Mardan picked me up at Tiffany Place ISKCON Press, in his car, and told me to get in and sit in the back as he was going to pick up Sankirtan devottees. He knew I was austere and so he wanted to know my opinion on Srila Prabhupada's decision that all GBC members take sannyas and thus retain their post.
My not much appreciated, forthcoming and immediate answer was, "I think it is a very good idea - the GBC they should be the most austere." So if Karandhara was GBC maybe he did not take sannyas, although awarded by the asking. I saw him in white in May 1973. Again as I had stated it may have been a revised book that contained this 8th canto purport as I had mentioned - as in ISKCON Press in Los Angeles every time their was a second press run - all big books had
Several years after Srila Prabhupada first arrived in America, a disciple discovered the diary he had kept during his passage from India on the steamship Jaladuta. Inside was a poem, handwritten in Bengali, which Srila Prabhupada had written on board the ship just after it had arrived in Boston harbor. The poem beautifully captures Srila Prabhupada's first impressions of Western civilization and reveals his heartfelt determination to change the consciousness of America. It begins:
"My dear Lord Krishna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do not know why You have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like with me.
"But I guess You have some business here, otherwise why would You bring me to this terrible place?

What I learned from Srila Prabhupada's disappearance pastimes article, may be freely reposted
Some of the Things I Learned from Srila Prabhupada's Departure Pastimes
I've believed that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned by his caretakers for some years now, but recent new evidence has made the fact of his poisoning indisputable. Srila Prabhupada is the acarya and everything he did was a lesson for us to use to grow spiritually. His disappearance pastimes are no exception. Here are a few of the things I've learned from this pastime:
The poisoners were people who were very close to him and had done a huge amount of valuable service. Yet the desire for profit, adoration and distinction was so strong that they were able to commit the heinous act of murder and compound the crime by lying that they were appointed as pure devotees. I have not done nearly as much for Srila Prabhupada as the poisoners, so I have to assume that I'm also capable, under the right circumstances to be as ove
The murderers must be stopped, or you are also guilty.
Srila Prabhupada has this to say about keeping quiet: “A person who knows things as they are and still does not bear witness becomes involved in sinful activities.” (CC Madhya 5.90) And: Prabhupada: But one who tolerates mischievous activity, he is also culprit. If you are mischievous, you are criminal. But if you tolerate mischievous activities that is also criminal. (Conv, May 3, 1973)
Pita Dasa added
Prabhupada: This of should be strictly forbidden.
Radha-vallabha: So no corrections. That makes it simple.
Prabhupada: They can divide the synonyms. That’s all.
Radha-vallabha: Synonyms. So even…
Prabhupada: That is his tendency, to correct. That’s very bad. He should not do that.
Radha-vallabha: So I’ll just forget this, then.
Prabhupada: The system is: whatever authority has done, even there is mistake, it should be accepted.
Radha-vallabha: Oh.
Prabhupada: Arsa-prayoga. That is ha… He should not become more learned than the authority. That is very bad habit….
Prabhupada: Why finish it? Whatever is done is done. No more….
Radha-vallabha: Well, now that this system of no corrections anywhere, that makes it very simple. Then he can’t do anything. I don’t think he wants to, either. It makes it more simple for him. It makes him very uncomfortable.
Prabhupada: No corrections.

VERY RELEVANT TESTIMONY FROM CYAVANA SWAMI
On September 6, 2017, Nityananda das received an email reply to questions he had put to Cyavana Swami, an very early Srila Prabhupada disciple who manages a preaching and gardening facility in Williston, Florida called Camp Garuda. The reply was:
“Yes, I have stated this many times.....some understand it, but most don't and it usually causes some to become agitated. Most devotees never really understood who Srila Prabhupada is. The initiation means to begin on the path of Bhakti, each one must figure out how to take that first step. Srila Prabhupada made it perfectly clear to me that we are not his only disciples. His instruction was,"I have given you everything, don't change anything... I will have millions of disciples." These are the most important instructions Srila Prabhupada ever gave us for the future of his Movement.
“In my discussions with Prabhupada the subject of adding to and
